Effects of the geomagnetic field time–varying components compensation as evidenced by heart rate variability of healthy males

" The central and autonomic nervous systems, and heart rate are mainly affected by GMSs. GMSs break the regular, synchronous rhythm of vital processes, leading to an abrupt drop in cardiac activity. During GMSs days existing diseases aggravate. On storm days’ arrhythmias and large-wave fibrillation were determined (Stoupel, 1993). During GMSs the risk of in-hospital death, myocardial infarction, and stroke increase by over 1.5 times (Cornelissen et al., 2002), (Vencloviene et al., 2014). In healthy people effects can be manifested in time elongation of simple locomotor reaction to the velocity of the visual information processing, worsening of the attention characteristics, short and long-term memory (Khorseva, 2013), this argues that during GMS human organism is under the influence of the irritating (stress) effect. As reported by some authors in a test population, the ratio between magneto sensitive and magneto insensitive healthy individuals is around 60% to 40% respectively, in hypertensive patients 84% to 16% compared to the insensitive patients (Zenchenko and Breus, 2008)." {Credits 1}
